MAC released their Double Dazzle collection today, it was supposed to be April 30th but they bumped it up luckily! Unfortunately it's not on their website yet, but Nordstroms.com has 'em! They all look yummy! I love the Dazzleglasses ($18, each), when they first came out I nabbed "Baby Sparks" and "Funtabulous" and I am BEYOND HAPPY that all but 3 are permanent. (goldyrocks, utterly posh, and stop! look! are ALL LIMITED EDITION).

I didn't get to swatch all of them at the store, nor on my lips because the BF was being a bugaboo! LOL. So below are swatches of the ones I ended up getting, for those of you who never had a chance to try a Dazzleglass, they ARE sticky lipglosses, so be WARNED! Yes they are the lipglosses that your hair will stick to on a windy day making you look like Cousin It of the Addams family. And I know many of you ladies who hate super sticky lipglosses, but the one thing I love about 'em is that they last because they are stickier than MAC's lipglasses. They stay on like no other! I wore "Funtabulous" at my sister's party, and I didn't even have to re-apply a coat. I also like how they have super fine glitter so that it's wearable alone or even over lipsticks without making you look like you ate some greasy chicken! LOL. The only thing I noticed is that right out of the box, the brush for each gloss was really stiff which is normal since it's new, so just bend it to flex it a bit so it has movement for easy application on the lips.

It's so hard to even pick a favorite because they all are gorgeous over lipsticks and really bring your lips to life! I must say though I love "Funtabulous", "Rags to Riches", "Smile", "Moth to Flame", and "Steppin' Out" they are even just pretty alone. "Goldyrocks" didn't wow me as much as I thought it would, it does have nice gold flecks, but the overall gloss was a bit too sheer for me which is great for those of you who don't want so much color in their gloss. To be honest, there are a few colors that start to look the same the more and more you look at it such as "Like Venus" and "Extra Amps", I had to keep swatching them over and over again to make sure I wasn't mixing up the two!

Nonetheless, I am glad that a majority of these are permanent so there is no need to rush and get them for the fear of them disappearing again, however I highly suggest to at least get ONE and you'll fall in love with it because they just make lips look luscious!

They all look so pretty. You're right tho Vanessa, they start to look the same after a while. Thanks for taking the time to swatch these on your lips I know it probably wasnt as fun as it looks bc its so sticky. =)

they look yummy!!! but i tend to stay away from sparkle in lipglosses bc they make my lips look tooo BIGGGG! i think anything that can tone down my lips would be a plus in my book so i'll pass on these.. love the review of course! =)

Wowzer you have got the most perfect lips, and face for that matter!!! You gorgeous girl you!!!:P Thankyou so much for your comment, lol I wish it was true, you are too kind! Love your blog!! Have a 'hoppy' Easter = )

I love your choices Nessa! I went to MAC today to do a swatching spree, but I couldn't make up my mind as to what to get!! LOL I'm definitely getting Moth to Flame and Bare Necessities. Rags to Riches is to-die-for too! Happy Easter girl!

OMG I was totally saving up for the release at the end of the month but now I don't feel rush because they're not really LE except three but I will pick at least one of the LE dazzleglass but hmm I don't know which one yet. I always love your reviews!!!

Beautiful! I love the look of "Smile"! I have "Funtabulous" but I must confess that I hardly use it... too sticky and glittery. It's a shame because I think that is what the Dazzleglasses are all about, lol.

this is so bad for my waning bank accoung! lol! :P i adore all the colors you like too, and I'm absolutely thrilled that those ones are permanent! yayy! :] thanks for the low-down, gorgeous! I'm really considering starting out with "Smile" and "Steppin' Out" or "Baby Sparks"--just going to limit my first purchase of dazzleglasses hehe. maybe i'll make a stop in SF this wknd to reward myself if I finish my papers (or get close to completing them!) :P
